Ep 26 | Why You Do What You Know Is Wrong | Decoding Bhagavad Gita with Swami Swaroopananda

The enemy hiding inside you. You think desire is harmless. You think that a little indulgence, a little craving will not affect you. But desire is like fire, the more you feed it, the more it consumes. Until you are trapped in this cycle. Bhagavan Shri Krishna warns Arjuna, and us, that this very desire is the enemy that hides in three places: your senses, your mind, and your intellect. And it never asks permission before it takes over. In episode 26, we discuss: ✅ What force compels us ✅ Why desire is a constant enemy of the wise ✅ The three examples for how desire veils knowledge ✅ Why desire is insatiable, and how it grows the more you feed it ✅ The three hideouts of desire, and the strategy to conquer each one ✅ Why control alone becomes suppression ✅ How attaching to a higher goal makes the lower desires easier to drop ✅ How attaching to atma dissolves the pull of desire altogether This series is dedicated to understanding the Bhagavad Gita in a way that is practical, relevant, and applicable to daily, modern life.
